The Narex Council of The Ursian Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander IV Windwalker with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 10.769 billion Ursians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ursus Majoro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ursian economy, worth a remarkable 3,752 trillion Ursian Kultas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 348,462 Ursian Kultas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,302,353 per year while the poor average 65,300, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Auditors are gutting every governmental department, foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, Ursian tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Ursian Empire's national animal is the Ursian Grizzly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Holy Bear.

The Ursian Empire is ranked 294,405^th in the world and 313^th in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
